MADRID - RESTAURANTE GOFIO
GOFIO One Michelin Star
Gofio is a superb homage to the cuisine of the Canary Islands and was awarded a Michelin Star in November 2019. This contemporary restaurant recreates the flavours of the Canary Islands archipelago from a modern viewpoint.
Chef Safe Cruz comes from a family of farmers from El Tablero, Tenerife. The menus are formed day to day, based on traditional Canarian cuisine and given a modern creative twist.
The are two tasting menus,
Half menu, Gofio €65
Full menu, Maximum Canariety €95
These menus provide an incredible journey of culinary discovery of the Canary Islands.
We chose the Gofio menu, and started with,
Sopa de cangrejos y burgados (crab and burgados (a Canarian mollusc) soup.
10 gramos de caviar (extra €25).
Trucha de conejo con mojo de monte (rabbit empanadillas (similar to a pasty) with mountain mojo sauce).

Croqueta de pollo con todo (chicken croquette with a layer of pork jelly).
Sorbette de guayaba su dulce y pomelo (guava and sweet grapefruit sorbet)
